George Johnston’s New Year’s Honours BEM citation says simply ‘For services to the community in Portadown’. And he has served the town in several, diverse ways.

He was a founder member of Craigavon Cardiac Care Association (CCCA) and served for 47years – including chairman and PR.

He was President of Portadown Chamber of Commerce during the time that he and wife May ran a successful jewellery business in Market Street.
